ANVIL YFOR PEGGING-IVIACHINES.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 685,398, dated October 29, 1901. Application filed March 8, 1901. Serial No. 50.335. (No model.)

T0 all whom, t may con/cern:

Be itknown that I, ISAE FRCHETTE, a subject of the King of Great Britain, residing at Montreal, in the Province of Quebec and D0- minion of Canada, have invented new and useful Improvements in Anvils for Pegging- Machines, of which the following is a specification. v

The object of this invention is to provide an anvil for pegging-machines which shall overcome the tendency' of anvilsas at presj ent constructed to rough up or wrinkle the inner sole of the shoe during the feeding of said shoe upon the horn, and, furthermore, to provide an anvil having a surface particularly adapted for clenching the pegs when driven thereon.

The invention consists in an anvil adapted. to be attached to the horn of a pegging-machine in such a manner vas to swivel thereon and having means attached thereto for guiding said anvil so that it shall maintain Ysubstantially the same relation to the edge of the shoe-sole which is being pegged upon it.

The invention again consists in an anvil, substantially as hereinbefore set forth, having the upper surface adapted to the clenching of pegs driven thereon and having the face of said anvil adjacent to the advancing portion of the shoe-sole beveled off to prevent roughing up or wrinkling of the inner sole of said shoe.

The invention consists, still further, in an anvil comprising a plate adapted to be attached to the horn of a pegging-machine in such a manner as to swivel thereon, means for guiding said plate7 and an arm pivoted to said plate and acting as a guide therefor.

The invention further consists in the combination and arrangement of parts set forth in the following specification and particularly pointed out in the claims thereof.

Referring to the drawings, Figure 1` is a plan view of my improved anvil. Fig. 2 is a longitudinal section taken on line 2 2, Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a plan view similar to Fig. 1, showing my improved anvil in its relative position to a shoe, the 'sole of the shoe being broken away to show said anvil. Fig. 4 is a vertical section taken on line 4 4 of Fig. 8, showing a portion of a shoe in connection with my improved anvil, said anvil being shown supported upon the horn of a peggi-ng-machine. Fig. 5 is an enlarged section through a portion of the anvil-plate on line 2 2, Fig. 1.

Like numerals refer to like parts throughf out the several views of the drawings.

In the drawings, 8 is the anvil-plate, having a hole 9 extending through the samefor the awl of the pegging-machine to pass into after Qpnncturing the sole of the shoe.

10 is a cylindrical flange vformed upon the "under side of said anvil-plate and having @an annular groove 11 extending around the same. Said flange is formed to fit in a recess 12 in the top of the horn 13, so that the anvilplate is'free to swivel upon the horn 13.

At the left of the hole 9 are two grooves 14 15, separatedfrom each other by a peg- 4dividing projection 116. On the other side of the hole 9 and diagonally opposite the grooves I14v 15 the plate 8 is beveled or rounded off at 17, Figs. 2 and 5. The upper surface of the plate 8 is corrugated upon one of the longer sides thereof at 18. At the opposite end of the plate from that having the beveled face 17 is an arm 19, pivoted between two ears 2O upon a pin 21. A torsional spiral spring 22 encircles the pin 21, one end thereof attached to the anvil-plate 8 and the other end to the arm 19. A guide-roller 23 is journaled on a piu 24, fast to the outer end of the arm 19 and rotates in a slot 25 between two ears 26 upon said arm.

The operation of the device is as follows: The shoe is placed upon the anvil in the usual manner and is fed in the direction of the arrow, Figs."3 and 4, bylan awl, which punctures the sole in line with the hole 9 in theanvil-plate 8. The peg is driven through the hole previously punctured by the awl and immediately over the peg-dividing projection 16 in the upper face of the anvil-plate 8.` It

will be seen that the inner end of the peg will IOO vzo

tion of my improved anvil I am enabled to have a beveled end at 17, which is the end of the anvil first reached by the sole as it is being fed by the awl, and that said beveled end allows the inner sole to slip smoothly along over the surface of the anvil without wrinkling or crumpling the same, as is often the case in anvils having a iat upper surface throughout and having a square corner which wrinkles the inner sole during the feeding operation. It is necessary that a portion of the upper surface of the anvil should be flat in order to have the pegs driven thereon, or it may be formed, as shown in the drawings, with a peg-dividing projection separating two grooves; but in any case there must be a surface upon which the pcg can be driven and clenched. Hence an ordinary cylindrical anvil with no means for holding said anvil in a fixed relation with reference to the edge of the sole of the shoe is necessarily at over the entire upper surface, and the edge thereof forms a square corner with thc periphery of said cylindrical anvil.

In my improved anvil the portion upon which the peg is clenched always remains to the left of the hole 9, Figs. l and 2, and the surface 17 upon the other side of the hole 9 diagonally opposite the grooves 14 15 can be rounded or beveled off, as shown.

In order to hold the anvil in the relative position to the edge of the shoe-sole shown in Fig. 3, I provide the arm 19 and also make the anvil longer than it is wide, so that the natural tendency of the shoe as it is fed in the direction of the arrow, Figs. 3 and 4, is to swing said anvil against the upper of the shoe and hold it in the position shown in Fig. 3. I also provide corrugations 18 along one edge of said anvil at the side farthest away from the edge of the shoe-sole which is being pegged, the tendency being, as the shoe is fed, to push with more friction upon this roughened surface and swing the anvil upon its swivel-fiange l0 against the upper of the shoe along the edge of the sole. It will thus be seen that the beveled face 17 is always kept pointing in the direction opposite to that in which the shoe is feeding and the portion of the anvil upon which the peg is driven and clenched is always kept to the left of the hole 9.

It is evident that the arm 19 may be dispensed with and the corrugations 18, the anvil-plate being made perfectly smooth, but with the pivotal point at one side of the center, between the two extreme ends of said plate, without departing from the spirit of my invention.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

1. An anvil for pegging-machines comprising a plate adapted to be attached to the horn of a pegging-machine in such a manner as to swivel thereon, and means for guiding said plate.
